Hayastan All-Armenian Fund’s annual Pan-European Phoneathon, carried out by the Fund’s French affiliate, raised over 1.3 million euros in donations and pledges.

The large-scale fundraising campaign, held on November 18-22, mobilized the Armenian communities of France (1,205,569 euros), Germany (76,050 euros) and Switzerland (24,554 euros).

Proceeds from the Phoneathon will be used for the construction of community centers in Artsakh, expansion of agricultural projects in Armenia’s Tavush province and assistance to the Armenian communities of Syria and Iraq.

The Greek community traditionally joined the Phoneathon with their fundraising held in Greece on November 22, raising around 29,000 euros, which will be used for the construction of a kindergarten in Karin Tak, a village in Nagorno Karabakh.
